PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
PRIVATE SIMON JEANS (3 July 2002)

Motion Details

That this House unreservedly condemns the brutal murder of Private Simon Jeans of the Royal Logistical Corps in Split, Croatia in 1996, after finishing a charity run to raise money for child victims of the war; notes that at the time of the murder Private Jeans was serving with the NATO peacekeeping forces in Bosnia; further notes that having failed to bring those responsible for the murder to justice the case is now at the Supreme Court of the Republic of Croatia; notes also the frustration of Private Jean's family who feel that neither the FOC nor the MoD have done enough on his behalf; and urges the Government to do everything in the pursuit of justice for the sake of all the servicemen serving the Former Yugoslavia and elsewhere.
